Robert Lowell article from Harold Bloom’s book in the review North and South provides insight
on his influence in poetry in his generation. Lowell, who was to become Bishop’s close friend,
describes the symbolic and rhetorical patterns that many of her early poems share, and goes on
to locate Bishop within the context of modernism. The argument is that Elizabeth Bishop’s
poem refuses to resolve the ambiguities of orientation and perspective, a refusal embodied in the
speaker’s response to her fellow observer’s questions. Instead of defining their location or
speculating on the soundless sea in the background of the monument, she sketches in a possible t
past for what they see: An ancient principality whose artist-prince might have wanted to mark a
tomb boundary, or make a melancholy or romantic scene of it’’(19). As a English Professor
Lowell is a very reliable source on this matter. Furthermore, the North and South Review has
been respected as a publisher in many ways. He won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National
Book Award on Literature were he taught English S, an advanced writing course, Craft of Poetry
and English 285.
I would use this source in a research paper because it is written by English professor and it could
be a good biography of Elizabeth Bishop to reveal her success and achievements. The source
supports good and clear information because Elizabeth presents her sketch to show what the
spokesperson 's see, and that it includes quotes from her.
